Sharyn, your posts and blogs really are all over the place. It makes it difficult for anyone to follow you arguments.
Don't take that personally, it is meant to be constructive criticism. Hopefully you can take it as such and improve your delivery.
Regarding the battery, you use a lot of emotionally laden terms "totally worthless in 5 years" is about the most concrete comment I could find in all of your posts. Can you give us more detail. Such as:
What state is it in at the end of 5 years? Zero capacity, 50%, somewhere in between?
Under what conditions? We are seeing some battery degradation in extremely hot climates. Is it just those hot climates where the batteries would, in your words, become totally useless in 5 years?
Any other issues other than overall capacity? If so, under what conditions?
Your right and that is my blogs are ALL OVER THE PLACE. I only started blogging because after I whistle blew people connected to Greg Kelly and HR harassed me and I wanted people to know what was going on. I told Mr. Tavares who was my client (a NISSAN board member that I was going to start a blog to expose the problems at NISSAN. Mr. Tavares was President of Nissan North America and he was upset about the discrimination and he wanted to fire people in HR but he could not do that because Carlos Ghosn's office in Japan said no. People connected to Mr. Tavares "fed" me information to blog about. I'm NOT an EV expert. I just listened to experts and then reworded it so their identity could be kept secret. I've done this for 3 years. NEVER did i think I've have a blog with MILLIONS of hits over 1,000,000 request from over 110 countries. It's terrifying. Bad News Greg Kelly is NOW a NISSAN board member , he took Tavares's position. Tavares did NOT want NISSAN to commit fraud.
"....The outdated battery technology nissan is using is "un predictable" with real
range for the first year. It needs a minimum if 100 charges and discharges to "stabalize" Thus the range reader will go from 95 miles to 75 miles in a matter of minutes... Creating unpredictable expectations. Then after the first year it degragates to about 85% then in year 4 it's about 60% so by 2015 those driving with NO ac or heat driving and driving at the "preferred" style & speed will ONLY get 60 miles per charge... In the real world most drivers will get only 45 miles per charge in 2015. What nissan needs to do is to have a heating and cooling system to protect the
battery from degradation. Get this!!! They're planning on blaming degradation
on the "quick chargers"...."
t
he above is from an email I sent to the editor of the Tennessean in February 2011.
Mark Silverman KNEW I was being railroaded by NISSAN he wanted to report the story but Gannett management would not let him. OUt of desperation I started http://www.sorrysilverman.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; about my relationship with the Ben Bradlee winning editor. I needed people to believe me. Mark did and he could NOT help. The reason wjhy the mainstream media did not report it is because the EV is President Obama'a Pet Projoct. You will see on that website a text message from him saying in the emails congress requesed from the white house my blog is probably mentioned.
I'm going to post emails to and from the Gannett/Tennessean editor.

******************* ............ R & D engineer currently at nissan Confirmed it's the
same.battery technology
I asked him if it was possible to get less than 20 mpc
This guy is GREEN and a Californian whose so mad at the DOE and he's becoming
right wing. This car is a rolling disaster. He said fords new battery cooling
system should take Care of some of the leafs problems. But does not see ev's
succeeding in "most" of America. Also he said hydrogen MUCH better.
FYI Nissan (did not encourage those that worked on EV to move to tn) ghosn said
it was useless. Then "something" changed his mind. Most likely the "free"
money.
So for NIssan Now to open An EV R & D in mountain view ca makes sense.
I could "rant" about the wasted money and the money they "burned"
marketing it but you've heard that from me before
Also, from another source due to the "lack" of intellectual property some higher
paying positions are going.
TN might be called the HQ but it will slowly be a back office. Too bad if the
good ole boys hired "qualified" people that might not have hppened.
I want to work where they're harboring the smart people.
Have a great day!!

Current Concern: Quick chargers should not be built until America has one plug in standard for fast chargers.
Too much money is being wasted and Gannett remains silent
??? WHY President Obama's Pet Project
??? WHY Americans are suffering in this bad economy. The people need the press to ask the tough questions and to report the news that will promote better
use of taxpayer spending
??? WHY is "this" issue not read about in the Gannett owned Tennessean.......Also, jobs will NOT be created as promised.

OMG
Also, one of our business reporter has been test driving a Leaf all week. He almost was stranded because battery life isn't what it's supposed to be, even when new. Story to come in a week or two.

Nissan battery degradation update... UPDATE
The outdated battery technology nissan is using is "un predictable" with real
range for the first year. It needs a minimum if 100 charges and discharges to
"stabalize" Thus the range reader will go from 95 miles to 75 miles in a
matter of minutes... Creating unpredictable expectations.
Then after the first year it degragates to about 85% then in year 4 it's about
60% so by 2015 those driving with NO ac or heat driving and driving at the
"preferred" style & speed will ONLY get 60 miles per charge... In the real
world most drivers will get only 45 miles per charge in 2015.
What nissan needs to do is to have a heating and cooling system to protect the
battery from degradation. Get this!!! They're planning on blaming degradation
on the "quick chargers"
OK.... I'm sure Mr. Tavares is fixing the problem.
